4. Put 2 double crochets and 1 chain and 2 double crochets in the end chain stitch.
5. Chain 3 and turn.
6. Put 2 double crochets and 1 chain and 2 double crochets between the second and third double crochet in the cluster below. (This cluster was made by direction No. 4 above.)
7. Chain 5, and repeat direction No. 6 in the next cluster below.
8. Repeat directions No. 5, 6, 7, again. This will make 3 rows.
9. On the fourth row, make the cluster (No. 4). Chain 2. Make 1 single crochet around the 2 rows of 5 chains below.
10. Chain 2 and continue with the clusters, catching chains together in every fourth row. Make work long enough to cover the doll’s elastic garter very loosely.
11. Run rubber garter through the crocheted work and fasten ends of garter. Sew a ribbon bow over the joining.
A Child’s Garter
is made in the same way, using a few more stitches in each row across.
